The best advice I can give a beginner in golf is “learn your golf swing fundamentals”. If you don’t have the fundamentals down, you won’t be able to perform a proper golf swing. These fundamentals are the key to the kingdom for any golfer.

Once you get your grip, posture and ball position correct you are giving yourself the best chance to hit a straight golf shot. Get any of them incorrect, and it will be impossible to have a consistent golf swing. This is where most amateur golfers get it wrong. Their grip is not right, their posture is incorrect, and they have ball position that doesn’t encourage a solid strike on the ball.
